Ahead of Cars 3 coming out on Blu-Ray on November 7, a newly released deleted scene shows the treacherous Sterling forcing Lightning McQueen – the franchise’s star – into retirement.

It was all inspired by the magic of Disney. At this year’s Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, Honda unveiled a custom Odyssey that would look well at home in any Disney park (or any Disney fanatic's driveway). They call it the "Minnie" Van, and it's a clever play on words to honor one of Walt’s most popular characters, Minnie Mouse, inspired by the magic of Disney. The exterior is finished in hot pink with white polka dots to match Minnie's signature style. On the roof, a massive set of Minnie ears and a matching bowtie complete the package. It’s all part of Honda’s partnership with Disney-ABC and the "Disney Unlock the Magic Sweepstakes," which will see the Honda Odyssey make a special appearance on an upcoming Disney’s Mickey and the Roadster Racers special.

We should know a lot more when Cars 3 premieres in the United States on June 16. The new trailer offers a little more opportunity to see on track action, but it largely uses the same shots from earlier clips promoting the movie. From the videos so far, the film’s plot appears to focus on McQueen suffering a massive wreck while racing Storm. The series’ hero returns to the roots of American oval racing and begins competing on short, local tracks. We can only presume that the … [Read more...] about New Cars 3 trailer highlights Lightning McQueen’s 850-hp rival Jackson Storm
